How to find and apply for Low Income Housing

Your first step should always be your local housing authority. They can let you know about area public housing, subsidized housing, section 8 rentals, etc. You can also go through qualifications, sliding fee scale tables etc, with personnel.

Check on Waiting Lists

Before applying, make sure you know the status on waiting lists. Subsidized housing is hard to come by. Most good apartments have long waiting lists.

Section 8 Vouchers

You can apply for Housing Choice Vouchers at your local housing authority. HCV's (Housing Choice Vouchers) pay the balance of rent payments that exceed 30% of your monthly rental rates.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Properties

LIHTC apartments are approved apartments that provide a number of apartments for low income people. A good place to start looking for these properties are HUD approved Counseling Agencies. We provide many of these locations on LowIncomeApartments.us.
